Abused
Young Women Trained as Professional Killers
Original Chinese Title: MOR GWAI TIN SI
Also known as NAKED AVENGERS [Singapore Title]
director: Steve Cheng
starring: Tien Hsin · Andy On · Cherrie In (Cherrie Ying) · Jordan Chan
· Jewel Lee · Wei Hua (Viva Wei)
In
a plot that liberally borrows from NAKED
WEAPON, young women with a traumatic history of abuse and sexual
mistreatment are recruited by a damaged avenger named Winnie who trains
them to become professional killers. One of the hitwomen, Yoyo, resists
the new mission which involves the murder of a mob boss's six year old
girl. That same woman is also compromised when she's recognized by young
cop Jet who is investigating the rash of murders. He tries to convince
Yoyo to surrender but instead they become romantically involved and
she decides to help him with the case.
The
women are beautiful and, despite the thin plot, they make it work. Taiwanese
model Tien Hsin (as Yoyo) is gorgeous and it's easy to see why her cop
boyfriend (played by Andy On) would risk his case for her. But Fei Li
as the trainer Winnie steals the show with her steely personality and
fighting skills. Viva Wei plays bad girl Dora. She is both dangerous
and irresistible, a woman who enjoys killing and can easily convince
a man to follow her into hell.
Probably
the most recognizable of the female assassins is Cherry Ying (called
Cherry In here). She's been in a number of high profile films (like
ELECTION
and ROB-B-HOOD)
and has starred in a variety of remarkable, lesser known projects (Johnnie
To's THROW
DOWN, the award winning TONY
TAKITANI, and the outlandishVIRTUAL
RECALL).
Lead
male actor Andy On originally came from Rhode Island USA. He moved to
Hong Kong after getting fed up with his bartending job. Within two weeks,
Andy was discovered by Tsui Hark who cast him as the lead in BLACK
MASK 2 in 2005. He would star in another 40+ high profile films
including Sammo Hung's DRAGON
SQUAD, Maggie Q's 3
KINGDOMS, ZOMBIE
FIGHT CLUB and ANGEL
WARRIORS. He married Jessica Cambensy (Jessica C from SPECIAL
FEMALE FORCE) in 2016 and today they have one child.
